Article Abstract
Head trauma is the leading cause of morbidity and death in paediatric population. The authors present an outline of contemporary knowledge on the paediatric head injury on the ground of literature and own experience. The value of Glasgow Coma Scale, its modifications and other prognostic factors in children's population after head trauma is discussed. The management of mild head injury is also disputed. In conclusion it is stressed that since many differences in epidemiology, mechanism, pathophysiology and outcome of head injury in childhood and adults exist the separation of "paediatric neurotraumatology" is reasonable.

Background: The lower birth canal is the final constriction through which a fetal head must pass for delivery. Unfortunately, injuries to the lower birth canal tissues occur in up to 19 % of first-time vaginal deliveries due to the 300 % stretch required.
Methods: This is a secondary analysis of data from 56 healthy nullipara recorded by a lower birth canal dilator during the first stage of labor.
